do each of these servers have a separate routable ip address? if they
are, say IP.1 IP.2 IP.3 IP.4 and you wish to drop access from the
outside world to IP.1 then a rule something like:


ipchains -A input -j REJECT  -s 0.0.0.0 -d $IP.1

(this rejects anything from anywhere (0.0.0.0) to your server's ip
address ($IP.1)

or something like that.

Get rid of the rule in two days (or whatever) with the at command.
